Hydraulics
Hydraulic connection at zero pressure only
Only connect hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulic system if the
tractor and machine hydraulic system is at zero pressure. A pressu-
rised hydraulic system can trigger unpredictable movements of the
machine and can cause serious machine damage and personal injury.
Serious or fatal injury may be caused as a result.
High pressure in the hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is under high pressure. Regularly check all lines,
hoses, and screwed connections for leaks and externally visible da-
mage. Only use suitable tools when looking for leaks. Rectify any da-
mage immediately. Oil escaping under pressure may result in injuries
and fires. Seek medical attention immediately if injuries occur.
Replace hydraulic hoses every six years
Hydraulic hoses age without showing externally visible signs. Replace
hydraulic hoses every six years. Defective hydraulic lines can cause
serious or fatal injuries.
